I don't know exactly how this part works but it is my impression that currently Mozilla downloads a "minimum" header set to create the thread pane view for IMAP. But for the bug above, we might request Content-type header in addition. Does anyone know what headers are fetched in IMAP protocol by default or can a user agent specify what headers to download? As for the multi-part messages, I think it would be reasonable to take the first part as the basis for guessing the header charset. This should catch a majority of cases. > > > BTW I noticed that when I forwarded the message the attachments pane > displayed in Cyrillic but when I read the message in the newsgroup the > attachment displays some Windows-1252 gibberish :-( There might be a bug for this problem already. Let me CC a couple of Mail testing people. If you have a specific example/test case, you might want to file a bug to see if there is a duplicate bug. - Kat -- Katsuhiko Momoi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Web Standards/Embedding Netscape Technology Evangelism/Developer Support
